Book excerpt: A Borrowed Man: a new science fiction novel from Gene Wolfe, the celebrated author of the Book of the New Sun series. It is perhaps a hundred years in the future, our civilization is gone, and another is in place in North America, but it retains many familiar things and structures. Although the population is now small, there is advanced technology, there are robots, and there are clones. E. A. Smithe is a borrowed person. He is a clone who lives on a third-tier shelf in a public library, and his personality is an uploaded recording of a deceased mystery writer. Smithe is a piece of property, not a legal human. A wealthy patron, Colette Coldbrook, takes him from the library because he is the surviving personality of the author of Murder on Mars. A physical copy of that book was in the possession of her murdered father, and it contains an important secret, the key to immense family wealth. It is lost, and Colette is afraid of the police. She borrows Smithe to help her find the book and to find out what the secret is. And then the plot gets complicated. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Whispers of Havenwood written by Robin Wickens and published by Rob's Books. This book was released on with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of England lies a village lost in time, where cobblestone streets wind through rows of quaint, thatched cottages, and ancient oak trees whisper secrets to the wind. Havenwood, a place of serene beauty and old-world charm, seems untouched by the rush of the modern world. It is here, in this seemingly idyllic setting, that our story unfolds. The village of Havenwood, with its close-knit community and traditions dating back centuries, prides itself on its sense of security and belonging. Yet, beneath its picturesque exterior, Havenwood harbors secrets and shadows that the villagers prefer to keep buried. The autumn air is crisp, and the trees are ablaze with hues of gold and crimson as preparations are underway for the annual Harvest Fair, a celebration that brings the entire community together. But this year, the joy of the Harvest Fair is overshadowed by a sense of unease. Laura Hayes, the beloved schoolteacher, is found dead in the grand library of the Thornton Estate. Her sudden and mysterious death sends ripples of shock and fear through the village. Laura was more than a teacher; she was a confidante and friend to many, making her loss all the more poignant. Detective Evelyn Harper, a seasoned investigator from the city, is dispatched to Havenwood to unravel the mystery behind Laura’s untimely demise. With a sharp mind and an intuitive grasp of human nature, Evelyn steps into a world where everyone knows everyone, and secrets are woven into the fabric of daily life. Evelyn’s arrival disrupts the fragile tranquility of Havenwood. As she delves into the investigation, she encounters a cast of intriguing characters: James Thornton, the wealthy, enigmatic owner of the estate; Margaret Thornton, his estranged and bitter wife; Edward Blackwood, the loyal butler with a murky past; and Sarah Miller, the young, inquisitive journalist eager to assist in uncovering the truth. The initial inquiry reveals little, but Evelyn’s instincts tell her that beneath the surface of this picturesque village lies a web of deceit, jealousy, and hidden motives. Laura’s diary, discovered in her quaint cottage, offers cryptic clues about her final days and the secrets she unearthed, hinting at a larger, more sinister conspiracy. As Evelyn and Sarah delve deeper, they uncover layers of Havenwood’s history—old grudges, forbidden loves, and buried scandals. Each revelation brings them closer to the truth, but also closer to danger. The village, which once seemed so tranquil, now feels like a maze of shadows and whispers, where the past and present collide in a deadly game. In "Whispers of Havenwood," the serene facade of Havenwood is peeled away to reveal a story of ambition, betrayal, and murder. Evelyn Harper’s quest for justice will test her resolve and uncover the dark truths that lie beneath the village’s charming exterior. Amidst the beauty of the autumn landscape, a silent whisper echoes through the trees, carrying with it the secrets of a village that will never be the same again.

Download or read book The Haunted Screen written by Lee Kovacs and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While ghosts often inhabit films and literature devoted to the horror genre, a group of literature-based films from the 1930s and 1940s presents more human and romantic apparitions. These films provide the underpinnings for many of the gentle supernatural films of the 1990s. Tracing the links between specters as diverse as Rex Harrison's Captain Gregg and Patrick Swazye's Sam Wheat, the text presents the evolution of the cinematic-literary ghost from classic Gothic to the psychological, sociological, and political ideologies of today. Included are analyses of the literary and film versions of classic ghost stories--Wuthering Heights, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Portrait of Jennie, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Uninvited, Liliom, and Our Town--as well as interpretations of modern films not based on literary works that show the influence of these predecessors--Ghost and Truly, Madly, Deeply. The text includes stills, a bibliography, and an index.
